“Soul-ly” Connected
After a very busy Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I knew
yesterday morning, it wasn’t time for rest, yet! I had to mow!
I psych myself up, I hydrate, and I get everything ready to
go. But, I have also found, that if I
begin my conversations with God, the time flies! Before I realize it, I’m done with my
task.
After I mowed, I had a lovely visit from a granddaughter and
her son, and this gave me a physical rest and an unwinding of my mind. I also had some epiphanies watching my great-grandson
literally learn something new right before my eyes. One of which is “be in the present”, every
moment.
After my visitors left, I sat here, reviewed my week-end and
discovered this:
When I pray, converse (whatever you want to call it) with
God as I am performing a task, it’s as if times goes very quickly, and I feel
extremely uplifted and renewed. If I
begin a day or a task without that connection, I’m tired, impatient, and in the
“okay, let’s do the check-list and move on to the next task”. Mindlessly, totally disconnected and
mechanically performing and “being”.
I do have specific times I “formally pray”, but when I
remember that God already knows my prayer and it’s already answered, it makes
sense to me that what I say and how I say it really doesn’t matter. So, my “conversations” are a way to stay continually
connected.
I’m the one who turns down the volume or unplugs, not
God. Only when I earnestly focus on the
present moment and engage God into it, I can have a love-filled, enlightened
task—no matter what it is. No sighs, no,
“I’m so tired”, no “This is so hard”, “Can’t they hurry up?” only, “Yes, God, thank
you, Yeah, I can do this!” Staying
connected, brings in the energy and light.
Staying Connected
Life’s little tasks
Over-power our time,
And override our thoughts.
We become so connected to
“What must be done”,
We allow the only true connection
To become unplugged.
Conversing with God
Within the simplest of duty,
Gives us the “soul” certainty:
God is truly behind all things,
And I am grateful beyond measure.
